Both fans and imitators key on the mannerisms of Quitely's style: full lips, pebbly mark-making, few spot blacks, visible seams. But those quirks are hung on a frame of high fidelity draftsmanship. The subtly receding shield and gestural hair on the nape of the neck describe the figure sublimely.

RIP to a legend, Sal Buscema. One of the core 4 Spider-Man artists of my youth, Sal drew Spectacular Spider-Man 191, the 3rd comic I ever bought. I was captivated by the energy in those panels, and I remember it was a Sal’s Spidey that I first attempted to draw- the last page splash from issue 183.
